Gifted (2017)

A feel good film about trying to do what's best for a gifted little girl. There’s no perfect answer except to maybe find the right balance, which is ultimately where things land. A talented young actress. 

Rating: B-

Saw II (2005)

Having been pleasantly surprised with the first Saw, I decided to give the sequel a chance. While it didn't have that same intense kick of the first, it still delivers some chilling moments. Even with the pile of cash made on the original, they still managed to make this one look more low-budget.

Rating: C

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

I had fun watching this, despite the over-the-top premise. I'm a sucker for end-of-the-world disaster flicks.

Rating: C+

The Salton Sea (2002)

My appreciation for Val Kilmer continues to grow after seeing performances like this. He's a truly underrated actor. This is a smart, moody drug/thriller/drama with a few tricks up its sleeve. I loved it.
